Sorry, I sent the last message accidentally. Maybe after opening PD and finding that Zexy didn't work, you opened a Zexy helpfile through the browser, or loaded some other file where Zexy was directly declared. This would load Zexy and allow all objects to create correctly, but but not prevent them from failing next time PD is opened.
Roman's solution should work. If you want, you can put the same declaration as a startup flag (preferences --> startup) so that you don't have to bother with the [declare] object every time. ________________________________ From: Pd-list <[email protected]> on behalf of Liam Goodacre <[email protected]> Sent: 22 March 2018 08:59 To: Roman Haefeli; [email protected] Subject: Re: [PD] cannot 'upgrade' old patch ________________________________ From: Pd-list <[email protected]> on behalf of Roman Haefeli <[email protected]> Sent: 22 March 2018 07:36 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PD] cannot 'upgrade' old patch On Don, 2018-03-22 at 07:44 +0100, [email protected] wrote: > hi list, > > i have old patches made with Pdext 42.5. > when opened with Vanilla 48.1 i get lots of uncreated objects (of > course). > > some of them i'm not able to 'repair'. > e.g. [symbol2list] > > i put in a [declare -stdpath -zexy -stdlib -zexy]. It should read: [declare -stdpath zexy -stdlib zexy] (without dashes before 'zexy'). > it's possible to create a new [symbol2list] object. > > after saving, closing pd, opening again, > the new object is not created. > > what can i do to resolve this. Let's hope the typo was the reason for this. If not, then this is odd. I mean, if it works _before_ saving the patch, it is supposed to work after re-loading. I'd run pd in verbose mode. You can add the startup flag '-verbose' (without quotes) in your preferences. When loading [symbol2list], check what it does and whether Pd is looking into the right places. Roman
